[b]SOUTH EAST: IS IT NOT TOO LATE?

I have read the recent transmissions by Senator Bukola Saraki directed at my Igbo tribe. I have deliberately kept mum on this as I had earlier resolved to speak less on Igbos as regards the 2019 Elections and 2023 Presidency having said quite a bit. 

However seeing as some of my brethren have swallowed the cheap bait, I will chip this in just to keep the reality before us, at least for posterity sake. Truth is bitter but it's still the best medicine. 

My people say; 'He who does not remember where the rain started beating him, will not remember where it stopped'. 

REWIND TO 2014. 
A new National Party was being conceived. Political Parties, political players and Regions were being wooed to the new alliance. 

'We' Igbos (read South East) vehemently refused to touch it even with a long pole. We packaged, sold to ourselves and bought the baseless propaganda that it was an Islamic alliance that would birth an "Islamic" and "Hausa" Party. Simply because those our brethren heavily invested in the PDP at the time were afraid of losing their vested selfish interests.
Till today I'm still trying to fathom the basis for that wicked and twisted deceit especially as many of those Igbo elites who sold that dummy have since ported to the same APC.

We failed to even identify with that new Alliance. Hence the Party, APC was birthed without any remarkable input from us or presence. The few amongst us who aligned were called all kinds of names and abused to high heavens by us even when they were proven right afterall.

Thus the few Igbos who were part of it were at best fringe players as they didn't have the required clout to make serious demands and do the necessary political wheeling and dealing required in Politics to strike the hard bargains since politics is all about interests and numbers. They were even suspect, so much so that it was only their personal political sagacity that gave them whatever they got.

That Party went on to win the Presidential Election which in truth, most of us never believed it could or would, because of our half baked permutations and poor understanding of Nigerian politics. But it did. 

Curiously we turned up at the fore front of telling this same Party how it should share it's 'spoils of war'. We became hypocritical moral champions with an over bloated sense of entitlement. Who does that, in all political reality and practicality? But we did, even while vehemently and vociferously still refusing to shift our position, style and rhethoric.

We dug in. Supported every bad thing and person against the Party, the elected President and the Administration while denying any and every good done to and for our Region.

Fast forward to where we are today. Almost four years after the 2015 misadventure, we have stayed put at 2015, refusing to move forward, refusing to shift grounds, refusing to play pragmatic politics, telling ourselves the same lies we cooked and bought in 2015 and some more. 

Now barely 5 months to another election, we have started again saying "APC cannot give Presidency to Igbos in 2023". "Buhari cannot hand over to an Igbo man because Buhari hates Igbos". "APC is deceiving you", bla bla bla.

Of course. We will believe Saraki, who has only but a fanthom dream of becoming President and whose only known record is selfishness but we can't believe Buhari who's already President and who has a record of voluntarily picking two great Igbo sons as running mates in the past? Chukwu aju.

It is interesting and vital to note here that the PDP which many of us still proudly support and adore was in power for 16 solid years and in those years there were 4 Presidential Inaugurations and on none of those was an Igbo man found worthy by the PDP of even Vice Presidency and we are still bold to say it is the APC that has not even finished one and a half tenure that doesn't want to give power to Igbos. Odi nma. 

NOW; Seriously, let's be sincere. As things stand today politically, why would the APC even hand power to us Igbos in 2023? 
On what grounds? 
On what records?
On what politics?
Is power given to anyone? 
Is it an appeasement or a gift? 

The APC is a political party. The main focus of a political Party is to hold power and keep it to enable it deliver on its agenda. So if the APC reads that the SE does not want the Presidency or does not have the capacity to help them win and keep power, they will stick with the regions that can and work with individuals who are interested. 

Make no mistake, I have always said, I do not blame us Igbos for the decision majority of us took in 2015. It's our right. But continuing to pretend that it was other regions, Buhari or the APC that made us do what we did then or remain where we are today is purely self deceit and I refuse to play that ostrich game. 

As far back as 2014, I and many others made that argument that Igbo Presidency was very feasible in 2023, ONLY under under the APC, ONLY IF we did a couple of things right politically. I personally continued to speak loudly on that even after the 2015 elections until when I realized that we were not ready to play the politics that was required and now I dare say it may be too late. Or is it not? Time will tell.

For now, we can continue to tell ourselves that we cannot hold the Presidency of Nigeria. I heard and read many of our brethren go from PDP to Biafra/seccesion (read IPOB) to Referendum to "Igbos do not need Presidency but Restructuring" etc forgetting that all that didn't lie squarely with us alone. We think other regions are not reading our body language?

I really don't care what Saraki writes or says because they've all come to realize that it's very easy to play us like a flute. So like Saraki, like Fani Kayode, like Fayose, like Atiku, even Jonah Jang of all people, they keep playing us.

I've learnt not to bother myself anymore to avoid unnecessary abuse from nonentities . As some of us have said, it's good governance we want, even if only one village will be producing the Presidents. So be it.

Ka Chineke mezie okwu. 

Aboki, abeg carry ur preaching go one side we want lgbo president in 2023 is it all igbos are pdp? abeg

Arrewa:
see them!!

Make una enjoy!!

Over 40 farmers were killed in Borno village.

You Igbos have been celebrating this tragedy opening thread up and down on how the north is gone.

Farmers were killed in Borno village. But I have been seeing comments from the Easterners telling us how the whole of the north is gone and Wil never know peace.

The unity in the north is second to none!!

The killings happened not to Hausa or Fulanis.

The killings happened to kanuris of Borno.

But we share their pains!!

Killing of 43 innocent villagers in Borno is like a killing in kano to me.

For those mocking the whole north of Over the killings in Borno. Keep it up and enjoy!!

Dear people zabarmari We have failed you. To all those killed, May Allah grant them Aljannatu Firdaus.

It's a shame that the people in Zamfara, kastina, Kaduna villages and Zabarmari couldn't get the protection they deserve. This is a failure of the president, manifesting before our very eyes.

Trash,trash, trash,

Temitopemo6e6:
This is not Apc nor Pdp, neither north or south..this is deeper than religion..this is pure evil and we all must rise up to condemn this wickedness, from the pulpit and from the mosques. These farmers do not deserves to die this way, we all must rise and speak in one voice..from east to west..enough of the bloodshed, enough of the killings, so sad, so depressing..no religious in the whole world encourage behaviour like this.

lt will not stop by condemn but by action,but remember u re the best security of ur self, so when nothern bokoharam politicians decided to end it they will end it wether u condemn it not.

Neddstark:


I am not defending any politician. They are the cause of Nigeria's problem. But however, I am of the opinion that every allegation should be backed up with proof/facts.

You re not defending any body actually but ur comment was like a stranger in Nigeria, how long do u think that it will take a thief to empty bank?,u asked as if he was overthrew Same day he made president, anyway I'm happy that somebody up had made things easier for u to understand better.

ednut1:
Gowon was overthrown while at AU meeting. how did he then move the money to London we all know he stole but can this man's account be accurate. The west are enablers of corruptions but still come out latter to talk shit lmao
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nfGF3HwSMrc

Childish question, also ask: Abacha who died in Office how did he then move Nigeria money to foreign countries, as if the time given them to loot money is yet to come,as if one week is too small to leaders to steal up to 100 billion naira.

rossniti:


Shut up. Why do you trust CNN? You actually think they care about you? Mumu slave people. Go and watch their so called video evidence, and there is still NO EVIDENCE of soldiers shooting people at Lekki. No use una brain. Mumu slaves.

Very harsh and aggressive reply, scrutinize your self and know wether ur better than the person u quote.

Lipscomb:
They should also share the pictures of what these hoodlums looted too.

Mumu talk.

R.i.p,this is not ghastly but fatal accident.

Bkayyy:
Ndị efulefu.
Ndigbo teta nụ. PDP is an enemy of the Igbo nation.
The party is run by Igbo phobic SS with the intent of using the future of Ndigbo as cannon fodder to the federal might.
Take a look at the Oyigbo crisis where the blood of Ndigbo were used to watch the feet of Wike and ikarre people. Did PDP condemn the action? No because it is headed and run by an Ogoni man (Uche Secondus from Andoni) . The same Ogoni that masterminded and executed the abandoned property in 1970. After the brutality and starvation by Wike PDP led government, what did they do to Igbo governors still at PDP. They summoned them to Port Harcourt. Ordinary Port Harcourt oh to baptize them with insults. Tell me when Ndigbo started going to Port Harcourt for meetings?
Now back to PDP as a party. This is a party that refused to open up Alaigbo to the economic game by failing to
1, Dredge the Niger River
2. Commission and grant license for international flights from SE airports.
3. Construct and maintain the Onitsha-Enugu expressway.
4 Allow a South Easterner to head the party
5 zone presidential ticket to a South Easterner
6 Construct the second Niger Bridge
7. Construct and maintain the Aba-Port Harcourt expressway
So ụmụnne m, we were not marginalized by Nigeria but PDP. PDP see south eastern as a second class region which is why they failed to treat is with dignity in the past decades they were in power.
If the ray of light is seen in APC, we shouldn't be shy to go for it.
Umahi took an honorable decision. A bold move that can only be taken by somebody who has the interest of his race and region at heart.
We refuse to be used by SS.
We refuse to be dribbled and raped by PDP again.
We refuse to be turned against our fellow majorities all in the name of protecting a region that has hands and legs.
We refuse to be turned to perpetual Antagonists in Nigeria politics.

And u think that APC is different from PDP? Nigerians don't be deceived by the party names,now ask ur self Who and who is in apc now that is not fomer pdp member they are few na thesame ppl.

Olatunji1929:
so he is on his own he should have learnt lesson from akbapio defection I believe ekweremadu is even more useful to PDP in eboyi than umahi

Point of direction: Ekweremadu not ekweremadu, lke Ekweremadu is from Enugu state not from Ebonyi state, hope u re following?.

GOTVee:
Even though I'm a born again Christian, I think I support such laws against blasphemy. President macron goofed by his Islamophobic actions and as Christians we must learn to respect other people's religious beliefs. Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) is so sacred to the Muslims just like our Lord Jesus christ is to we Christians. So we really need to be careful not to provoke the anger of Muslims.

One of the terrorist is spotted .

20 years PDP slave .. finally he saw the light


.

lf A.P.C leadership policies is light to u then i declare and decree that the kind of light Buhari put in Nigeria will never ever depart from ur home and wherever u and ur families found your selves, to ur generation to come, say Amen to that, on ur behalf Amen and Amen.

OfficialAwol:


Don't mind them. They are in the hunt for "legacy" projects.

But I think Anambra Airport can be excused because of it's cargo component which will serve Onitsha main market and Nnewi. Again, Anambra people are wealthy enough to feed the airport with passengers.

But I seriously do not understand Ebonyi and Abia building airports.

Who is gonna use Ebonyi airport for goodness sake?

Ebonyians are yet to pay for bus transports and you are building airport?

What Ebonyians need now is a governor who will invest in the people. Teach them skills and set them up with sufficient capital.

White elephant projects can come later.

what southeast Need mostly Now is railway lines,thier governors are stupid to the core.

GOTVee:
Even though I've been a born again Christian of over 25 years, I think we Christians really need to let the sleeping Dog lie. I have been to several Arab nations on tourism and Evangelism and I can attest to the fact that Arabic remains one of the unique and outstanding languages on earth. What is the big deal in having Arabic inscriptions on Naira notes and Army uniform? Nigeria is a country of Muslim majority and due to their numerical advantage I think the Muslims deserve to have the Arabic as a national symbol. I mostly prefer to read my bible in Arabic language for better understanding despite being a Christian. The Muslims in this country have never complained of the fact that the national language is English. The Christian missionaries brough English language to Nigeria and our dear Muslim brothers easily accepted it without fuss. Why are we Christians trouble some unnecessarily? We Christians really to be careful not to cause a national disaster

Mumu talk, up till Now u ve not understand why English language is Nigeria official language? why not invite saudi to come and colonize u in the first place since u want Arabic language yeye born again.

Let me say it this way:wetin some people in this country sit down see,take others to climb tallest MTN mast to see, OK let's be going till next 3years o Our mumu never do .

vanbonattel:
It's good, I guess all those that rejected Goodluck Jonathan and his #87 fuel will have a special zombie filling station where they will be buying at #40 if they prove they voted Buharri

Please volume up my bro. Cos they mumunity and iberibesm never do o.

Igboid:
Any Igbo man that call Wike or Ikwerre people is either a brainwashed IPOB member incapable of rational independent thinking or an ignorant one with no sense of group dignity.

Ikwerre is not Igbo

Yes,just as kwara is not Yoruba

themainman600:
well I won't blame the man because I wasn't there I don't know maybe the woman was trying to kill him so it might be self defense


but meanwhile some mad children will still blame us

I'm still rolling on the grand laughing, cos of pix of Bubu nd his second When I'm through i will say something.

YorubaKinging:
The end is near

I hope all of your forming patriotism can see how dumb you're now

The government of Nigeria has been serving the interest of only the northern people

It's time for you to as for separation of the unholy marriage

You can either ask it by fire or it will come by force

And Yoruba will be great again

l think i'm the only one standing with u, Yoruba will be great again, and this can only happen when we look beyond hatred and tribalism what do i mean? let's support Biafra and also get out of thise Fulani conquered area called Nigeria, say yes to Oduduwa. republic

LegacyB:
If this is true , then it’s pure favoritism. It’s no longer a plain playing field for all.

That is the problem of many people like u, thinking it is plain playing grand, wake up man, it wasn't and it is not and it will not be except we take it by force, by force? YES by force Northerners won't share equal plain playing grand with South on a soft intercourse.

CalabarPikin:
Meanwhile they're going about looking for sponsors of a peaceful #EndSARS protest to freeze accounts.....


If this Buhari regime were recorded in the Bible, it would have been written in the book of 3Kings Chapter 1:1-15 ; And I read.
1. And a good king reign over Nigeria. Goodluck the son of Ebele Jonathan from the city of Otueke, Bayelsa state, reigned for six years.
2. On his process to continue his good work, hatred started from the other sides of the nation, they tried everything by all means to unseat him as their leader.
3. Then many people of the nation started crying onto their gods saying, Oh! gods of our ancestors, come and take this Goodluck the son of Ebele Jonathan out of office for we have found our messiah, Buhari, the son of Mohammed from the city of Daura in Katsina
4. After the cries of the people against Goodluck, The Lord spoke to Goodluck, and said, Goodluck! Goodluck!! And he answered, my Lord, speak for thy servant heareth,
5. And the Lord said to him, do not resist to give power to that of their messiah for I'm going to do terrible things in the land of Nigeria through this Buhari, the son of Mohammed that will not be forgotten in the history of the world.
6. Then after the election, the messiah-Buhari loss the election but Goodluck still gave power to Buhari just to allow the word of God to be fulfilled
7. Then Buhari the son of Mohammed started reigning over his people; the first year of his regime ends with killings, hunger and suffering by the masses.
8. And he armed his Fulani kinsmen with weapons to kill the children of the Most High God, he did many evils to put thy Lord to anger.
9. In the second year of his regime, his evil acts got to heaven and God struck him with a life deadly disease, with all this sufferings.
10. A great Prophet Nnamdi, the son of Israel Kanu from the city of Afara Ukwu Ibeku, Umuahia in Abia state arose from the East and demanded for the freedom of his people out of Nigeria, but with the foolishness of Buhari and his people, they acted wrongly to the sight of the Lord by lunching the Operation Python Dance in the home of Prophet Nnamdi.
11. And the anger of the Lord was kindle against Buhari that the Lord thy God set ambush called the Niger Delta avengers over the people of Buhari.
12. That the fled leaving behind their possessions of cows, goats and rams.
13. And the word of the Lord came unto the children of the most high saying, by this time next month, a cup of rice shall be sold #130, for the Lord shall harden the mind of Buhari to close the border leading to the country of Nigeria.
14. Now the city of Lagos was under siege that harmattan ceases to come out even unto the 17th day of December in the year 2019.
15. And the children of the most high cried unto the Lord day and night and the Lord thy God had mercy upon Nigeria.
